I do not live in Colorado but I will be going there in March for a pre-op work up for my second brain surgery that will take place in Denver. I have a chronic medical condition and I have had non-stop (literally every second of the day) headaches since 2006. I don't bother taking the prescription drugs that they give me any more because they don't work. Two years ago, I went to California and tried a "lozenge" type form of marijuana called Canni-Sooth. Prior to this I had never use any sort of marijuana and frankly I was not expecting much but to my surprise, the lozenge not only worked but I had 3 solid days that were pain free, off of that one dosage. It was frankly a miracle.

Unfortunately I do not live in a state that has legal marijuana and the only form available here is smoking ( I don't smoke) and I am not really comfortable dealing with the criminal element that is the main purveyor of drugs here, so I have not tried it since that one time in California. The surgery that I am going to have is INCREDIBLY painful and will only arrest my current deterioration it will not prevent the chronic headaches.

At this time, I am so desperate for relief that my family is actually considering purchasing a cheap foreclosed home in some BFE town, prior to the surgery just so that I can get residency and get a prescription and get the lozenge form of marijuana. However, this seems like an extreme measure when I have no way of knowing if the first time the lozenge was merely a fluke or whether it would actually work for me longterm. It is kind of a waste to go through if it's not really going to give me the relief I need, since of course, whatever money we spend on this place will never be recouped.

I realize this is probably a rude question, but I really need to know: How strict are the dispensaries regarding residency for selling? If I bring in my patient history (extensive), would they be willing to let me "shoplift" a lozenge if I left 3 times the amount on the counter? I really want to try it at least once more before we go through all the hassle of finding a cheap place, just so I can have an address.

I realize this is probably a really outrageous thing to be asking the forums and I hope you realize I don't mean to be rude, but I am really desperate, and I am really not looking forward to this surgery knowing that the pain meds will not work.

Any help that you can give me would be appreciated and I hope you realize I am sincere and not attempting to cause trouble or anything with my questions.
